If we're all on a log flume to hell anyway, can we at least get the Maryland State Legislature to rename itself, "The League of Extraordinary Marilanders?"

Meet Sylvia Earle, the Trailblazing Marine Biologist Who Has Spent Her Career Giving Algae Their Long-Deserved Due For International Women and Girls in Science Day, the museum’s Ocean Portal spoke with “Her Deepness” about science, seaweed and the planet’s future

Dr. Sylvia Earle was one of my heroes as a kid and she still is. The National Aquarium had a deep sea diving JIM suit replica with her face projected inside. I'd love to see that video again.

Scientists 'shocked' as 'never-before-seen' footage of dolphins communicating with their urine sparks new theory Scientists still aren't sure what the reasoning is for the act but are dedicated to more research

Animals. They are so like us...

Scientists uncover a magnetic misunderstanding about Uranus In 1781, German-born British astronomer William Herschel made Uranus the first planet discovered with the aid of a telescope. This frigid planet, our solar system's third largest, remains a bit of an enigma 243 years later. And some of what we thought we knew about it turns out to be off the mark.

LOL
"Much of the knowledge about Uranus was gleaned when NASA's robotic spacecraft Voyager 2 conducted a five-day flyby in 1986. But scientists have now discovered that the probe visited at a time of unusual conditions - an intense solar wind event" 👀

Rereading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and got some timely wisdom from the great Douglas Adams:

Don't Panic.

They say a watched pot never boils, and it turns out it's twice as true when you also forget to turn on the gas...

Decorating for Halloween? Just a suggestion. If you're going to fill your yard with scary ghosts and goblins and draculas, pull that statue of the Virgin Mary in first. She looks terrified

This year I'm Halloweening as Fred from Scooby-Doo. I'm not wearing a costume, just going to walk around pulling the masks off of trick-or-treating children.

Trump compares himself to Nelson Mandela as he rails against criminal charges against him | CNN Poli... Former President Donald Trump on Monday compared himself to Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in South African prisons before emerging to lead the nation out of decades of apartheid rule, as he raile...

Trump compared himself to Nelson Mandela, and not by saying, "You know who was way better than me in every way? Nelson Mandela..."

Nah, some of those life boats made it.

Camping in Assateague may mean sleeping on a deflated air mattress under a soaking wet blanket inside a wind-whipped collapsed tent, but at least this old dog who is not ours enjoyed it...

Fast Fact: Justin Trudeau is the first Canadian Prime Minister in more than 85 years that is not just a beaver in a suit.

I think you should defend your work with Will and Grace.

My entire life since December 3rd, 1982 has been one, extended interpretive dance entitled, "Little Jimmy Comes of Age."

I never thought I'd say this, but watching the speaker debacle, it's hard not to think there's a lot we could learn about healthy governance from Italy...

National Aquarium starts work on outdoor Harbor Wetland habitat and floating park The National Aquarium is adding what it calls a groundbreaking outdoor exhibit, a floating park that that will restore a salt marsh habitat at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and be free to the public.

A free, open and accessible exhibit is what the Aquarium has needed since the seal pool closed forever ago. Something welcoming and part of the city every day. And even better that it connects people to their own ecosystem.

Spellcheck requires that you know how to spell "Bologna" before it will tell you how it is spelled.
